Is It Foggy or What?

History Daily

This photo has quite the backstory. Taken in 1954, it shows player Jack Kelsey, who happened to be the goalkeeper for Arsenal at the time. Supposedly it was so foggy that day that the game they were playing was called off at 61-minutes in. Unfortunately, no one told him so he stood on the pitch for another 15 minutes afterwards because he had no clue that it was done. According to Kelsey, “I paced up and down my goal-line, happy in the knowledge that Chelsea were being pinned in their own half. ‘The boys must be giving the Pensioners the hammer,’ I thought smugly, as I stamped my feet for warmth… After a long time a figure loomed out of the curtain of fog in front of me. It was a policeman, and he gaped at me incredulously. ‘What on earth are you doing here?’ he gasped. ‘The game was stopped a quarter of an hour ago. The field’s completely empty’. And when I groped my way to the dressing-room, the rest of the Charlton team, already out of the bath and in their civvies, were convulsed with laughter.”
